About this restaurant

  • Charming

The Angel is a rejuvenated, historical pub nestled in the quaint village of Kelvedon, on the suburbs of Essex. With rustic country charm through the interiors, there are plenty of cosy or lively spots to sit back and enjoy alongside great company.

    Lovely place, a bit noisy and one of 4 mains was a bit too well done and not eaten but credit to the management who deducted it from our bill and were very apologetic.

    Food was very good and served promptly. I had a Mediterranean salad with chicken. It was served with a whole Chechen breast that was cooked perfectly! The only small criticism was that they use frozen beans in the salad. Which is quite disappointing given the rest of the salad was of quite high-quality. It would not take much to actually be consistent with the high standard of quality of the food to actually use fresh beans. Also to add some roasted capsicum and or eggplant would also be very nice. And to have the option of some sort of dressing. I had to ask for a wedge of lemon to have his dressing over it. Overall very nice food though and a lovely service and the polished floors were a great improvement over the old flooring.

    Dear Ann-Marie, Thank you for your lovely review and for awarding us a 5-star rating! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your mediterranean salad with chicken and appreciated the prompt service and our newly refurbished flooring. We value your feedback regarding the use of frozen beans and the suggestion for additional ingredients and dressing options. Your comments are very helpful, and we will certainly consider them as we strive to improve our menu offerings. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Best Regards Deborah

    Arrived slightly earlier than booking time Greeted and seated promptly and drinks ordered and recieved in very good time. Menus were on the table we were given ample time to make our choices and have a conversation. When the food arrived it was hot and we all enjoyed our choices. Good time lapse between courses. Very enjoyable thank you.
